FTDI has developed the FT2233HPQ, a high-speed USB device that offers a bridge function with two separate channels. This bridge is designed to support the USB Type-C® standard along with power delivery (PD) capabilities. With the FT2233HPQ, users can negotiate power requirements and efficiently transfer data to a USB host device.
The FT2233HPQ is equipped with a controller IC that enables seamless integration of USB Type-C® and PD functionalities. This means that users can establish power negotiation with compatible devices and adjust the current flowing in or out of the USB port accordingly. The device supports both current sourcing and current sinking, providing flexibility in various application scenarios.
One of the key features of this bridge function is its compatibility with the FT2232H dual high-speed USB to multipurpose UART/MPSSE solution. Users can take advantage of the versatile capabilities offered by the FT2232H, such as UART communication and Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial Engine (MPSSE), while benefiting from the dual-channel bridge functionality of the FT2233HPQ. This allows for efficient data transfer and communication between multiple devices connected via USB.
Overall, FTDI's FT2233HPQ bridge device delivers two independent channels and provides full support for USB Type-C® and power delivery. Its integration with the FT2232H solution offers enhanced versatility and flexibility in USB-based applications. Whether it is for industrial, consumer, or other applications, this bridge provides a reliable and efficient solution for data transfer and power management.
